You know, when I see a pile of crap on the street I do not have to get close and examine it, take a sample and have it tested for its contents and then read a report on it. I can recognize crap right off the bat.

if you thumb through a book and start reading at some random spot, please forgive us for finding your evaluation ignorant and idiotic to offer as any kind of meaningful analysis.

Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Where does pathetic arrogants come from ith which you claim to know what others understand and not understand.

You tell me. You are the one who suggested you know that someone wants to murder homosexuals based on their religion.

Nope. I said that if he literaly followed the bible as a book of law he probably would murder homosexuals (and many others) if he could.

You don't know the Bible, obviously. By the Bible all people are sinners, and Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." So nobody can punish another for breaking the lord's commandments because we are all breaking God's commandments. By killing someone for breaking ONE of God's laws I would have to break two of God's laws.

No you backwards savage. I didnt write because he is a christian but because he is a fanatic.

You get angry when you get called out on your hypocrisy, don't you? Can the internet muscle flex be far behind?

No. Because you ignore the utterly disgusting and totalitarian way in which he rejects all opposing his opinion as "antichristian". Hence a fanatic.

If something goes against Biblical teaching it IS anti-Christian. There is no fanaticism in that simple truth.

As somebody who owned their own small press publishing company I don't need your ignorance about how books are often impulse purchases and people do indeed judge them by just a few seconds of quick scanning.

I did not realize I attempted to write a " meaningful analysis" or thorough review of the show - just comment on the connection between this and IDIOCRACY.

It seems that some right wingers are reading a whole lot more into this than just somebody not liking a certain show.

But let me guess? Many on the right have embraced this show and now it has become important to them and embracing this fellow is the new cause celebre on the right for the week?

Got it loud and clear.

edit - I just went to the Drudge Report to see what is agitating the right wings shorts and yup there it was big headline - big picture - lots of lead ins - this is indeed the new right wing cause celebre of the week.

I liked that at the end of each episode, no matter what was going on during the show, who was miffed at the other, they always ended the show around the dinner table with a prayer, and enjoy a meal....I think that is great. It follows the recipe for success of some of the greats from the past like - Little house on the prairie, The Waltons, even to an extent Dukes of Hazzard, or Andy Griffith....These shows didn't rely on overt sexuality, or mindless violence, or course language, because they didn't need to. They were safe, entertaining, and wholesome enough to allow the kids to watch without supervision. We are missing that today.

I could agree with extending the show if the cast agreed to wear cavemen costumes.
